I Was Blown Away!

I Was Blown Away!

Today I got an e-mail from PayPal saying "You've Got Money." Huh? I sell on eBay so getting e-mails from PayPal saying I've received money is not a new experience for me, but currently I have no auctions or Buy It Now listings up on eBay.

Turns out that it was commissions from a website I haven't worked on in months! I got $100.70 from sales generated thru links on my site. Wow! I was just stunned. (And it wasn't Amazon, either.)

I have to be honest and tell you that I was ready to throw in the towel and give up on my websites and WA as well. My Premium Membership renewal is coming up in less than two months and I was intending to not renew and just give the whole thing up.

Ready to put this into action?

But now I have new inspiration and feel like I could make a go of this after all. If I put in more effort and thought into my sites I can see a path to actually making money at this.

Anyway, just thought I'd share this good news with you all. I actually love reading everyone else's posts when they have successes, so thought you might feel the same.

Affilate Marketing does work! Don't get discouraged (like me) and try to give it a fair chance.

Now I'm going to go create more content for my sites this week. Yippee!
